Rosario Central–Club América transfer dispute

In early August 2026, Colombian forward Jaminton Campaz halted his training with Argentine side Rosario Central, demanding an immediate move to Mexico's Club América. Rosario Central’s board rejected the Mexican club’s roughly $3.5 million offer as insufficient, noting Campaz’s contract runs until December 2026 and that he remains a key player.

Club América’s interest persisted despite the stalled sale of Uruguayan forward Brian Rodríguez, which may limit its ability to meet Rosario Central’s valuation. As the transfer window neared its close, the dispute heightened internal tension at Rosario Central and attracted broader attention in the South American football market.

The episode unfolded alongside unrelated turmoil at River Plate, which suffered a fourth straight defeat, but the core narrative remained the Campaz‑Club América negotiation and the club’s refusal to train as leverage.
